Bicycle Stability - Model on Treadmill

This is a small bicycle model with the classic geometry (similar to a Schwinn in JBike6) with four ball bearings to keep friction to a minimum. It is riding on a treadmill that was slightly tilted forward. It has a screw mounted on one side to balance it a little better. Since the treadmill runs in a fixed direction any misalignment of the bike with this direction will make it drift to an edge. The fork looks bent back but this is only because of the way the steering column was built, the actual trail is still positive.
